From Putney Bridge to Jallianwalla Bagh: The 1/25th County of London Cyclists 1914-1919

Making a welcome return to the branch, Adam will be looking at the experiences of a Territorial cyclist battalion, 1/25th (County of London) Cyclist Battalion. After being on their annual camp when war broke out, the cyclists first found themselves based at Lowestoft, guarding the Suffolk coast before being converted to infantry and posted to India in 1916. In India the 25th fought on the Northwest Frontier before seeing action in the Third Anglo-Afghan War in 1919 and were also present in Amritsar at the time of the massacre.
